Originating in Italy, pizza has gained worldwide popularity. The typical way to make a pizza is to use a fermented round bread base, cover it with tomato sauce, cheese, and other toppings, and then bake it in an oven. Among the well - known ones are the Italian Neapolitan pizza and Margherita pizza. Neapolitan pizza, with its thin and soft crust, fresh ingredients, and a unique baking method in a wood - fired oven, has been recognized as an intangible cultural heritage. The Margherita pizza, with its simple combination of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves, symbolizes the colors of the Italian flag and is a classic representative of Italian cuisine.

The Portuguese egg tart is a small cream 酥皮 (shortcrust pastry) tart, belonging to one type of egg tart, with a characteristic 焦黑的 (charred) surface. The British brought Portuguese egg tarts to Macau and modified them by using a British - style custard filling and reducing the amount of sugar. Soon, they attracted a large number of 慕名而至者 (慕名而来的 people) and became a famous snack in Macau. The outer layer of the Portuguese egg tart is crispy and flaky, while the inner custard filling is smooth and creamy. The slight char on the surface not only adds a unique visual feature but also brings a hint of caramel flavor, making it a favorite dessert for many.
